Fauquier County thrives on neighborly support, especially in times of need. Local
groups and volunteers prove small acts of kindness have a big impact. Learn about
two that are dedicated to serving others and building community.
Total Clean Freaks, a residential cleaning
company based in Warrenton, was founded by
Misty Foxley in 2020. The company is affi liated
with Cleaning For a Reason, a nonprofi t
organization that provides free home cleaning
services to cancer patients.
The nonprofi t was founded by Debbie Sardone,
who was inspired after a potential client told
her she couldn't afford cleaning due to cancer
treatment. Debbie vowed that no cancer patient
would ever be turned away and would instead receive free services.
Through this partnership, Total Clean Freaks offers two complimentary home
cleanings for cancer patients in Fauquier County.
Earlier this year, Misty's team deep-cleaned the home of Nancy and Paul Johnson.
Paul is battling glioblastoma, and Misty, who attends the same church as the
Johnsons, reached out to offer help.
"Life is crazy enough, but when your partner becomes disabled, everything
changes," says Nancy. "You carry all the weight, so when someone offers a gift
like this, it means a lot."
Nancy, who had never had her home professionally cleaned before, described
the experience as "pure joy," comparing it to "the feeling you get as a kid
when you receive an amazing gift." For more information, call
(571) 606-8973.
Fauquier Community Food Bank and Thrift
Store, which fi rst opened in 2010, has been
providing food and support services to residents
in need throughout Fauquier County. The
organization also operates a thrift store to help
fund its efforts. Sharon Ames, the executive
director, has been with the organization for 14
years.
The food bank is designed like a market, offering
baby products, protein, fruits, vegetables, eggs,
milk, and more. Volunteers stock the shelves
in the morning, and services begin at noon. Customers use shopping carts, and
volunteers assist them as they select items.
Registration for Thanksgiving meals is currently underway. This year, clients
will receive vouchers for a turkey or ham, which can be picked up in the food
bank's parking lot on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, starting at 8:00 a.m. The
vouchers are redeemable at grocery stores for either an uncooked or pre-cooked
turkey or ham.
Side dishes--such as mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, stuffi ng, green
beans, corn, and pumpkin--will be provided through the "Stuff the Bus" program,
organized by Fauquier County Public Schools. The program includes an annual
competition among schools to see which can collect the most donations. Last
year, the food bank distributed 700 Thanksgiving meals. For more information,
